La Lunatica: This cache has been unavailable for some time and as the owner has not responded to recent logs I am archiving it.

Guidelines:[i] "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."[/i]

The current church in Narborough dates from the 13th Century although it is highly probable an even earlier church dating back to the 10th century or before stood on or near the site. A Saxon tombstone called a Hogback was found near the church and is on display at the Jewry Wall Museum in Leicester.
The church was largely rebuilt in 1856-1883. There are two aisles, nave, chancel and north vestry with a west tower containing a ring of six bells. The large nave of six bays has fine piers and strong shafts. The chancel was rebuilt in 1883 by F. Bacon. There is also an Ascension window by Theodora Salusbury from 1929 (Carlton church has a another fine window by the artist) in the north aisle. The stained window has two fish hidden in the folds of the robes. The ornate reredo behind the altar is very fine as is the whole of the chancel area.
The original Norman south porch was rebuilt in 1860 at a cost of £60, the font which has moved three times dates from the 13th Century and has tracery panels of various kinds including one with two parallel tree trunks. There are also sedilia in the southern aisle and a piscina. The graveyard is closed to burials now as these have transferred to the cemetery next door. In the actual churchyard there is a gravestone to a Harry Baker who died aged 49 in 1901 after being 'thrown from a trap
